For students who had previously struggled to see the relevance of science in their lives, Datahubs provided an authentic, hands-on connection between theory and the real world. By allowing students to collect and analyze their own data—ranging from temperature and air pressure to heart rate and dissolved oxygen—they experienced science not as something confined to a textbook, but as an active, living process. This immediate interaction with data deepened understanding and built critical thinking, aligning seamlessly with the Science and Engineering Practices outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards. Students learned how to think like scientists—asking questions, developing models, testing hypotheses, and communicating results—turning abstract concepts into tangible discoveries.\r\n\r\nBeyond skill-building, the use of Datahubs empowered students to see themselves as capable, curious learners. In a school culture rooted in connection and community, these tools provided new opportunities for collaboration, creativity, and exploration. Students who once doubted their academic abilities found confidence in their capacity to generate and interpret real-world evidence. The Datahub project not only strengthened scientific literacy but also inspired curiosity about STEM pathways, bridging students' personal interests—such as art, music, or mechanics—with the analytical mindset of science. Ultimately, this initiative helped cultivate lifelong learners who recognized their potential to contribute meaningfully to both their community and the broader world.","fullyFundedDate":1450112309729,"projectUrl":"project/science-and-engineering-practices-with-d/1809199/","projectTitle":"Science and Engineering Practices with Datahubs","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Edu","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2898874_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1449061277740","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/2898874"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_50133","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":152,"numTeachers":9,"percentFrplEligible":73,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":2,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":65,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"11 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"16.9:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_DISTANT"},"inStateSupporters":100.0,"schoolId":50133,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Chaparral High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Chaparral High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/snowline-joint-unified-school-district/chaparral-high-school/50133"}
